Unroller

Unroller class

Represents the operation of unrolling a single surface.

Derived Classes:

Namespace: Rhino.Geometry
Unroller: references

Constructors (2)

Unroller(Brep brep)

Initializes a new instance of the <b>Unroller</b> class with a brep.

Unroller(Surface surface)

Initializes a new instance of the <b>Unroller</b> class with surface.

Properties (4)

AbsoluteTolerance

Gets or sets the absolute tolerance for the unrolling operation.
Absolute tolerance is used in the evaluation of new entities, such as intersections, re-projections and splits.
In the current implementation, absolute tolerance is used in tessellating rails, fitting curves and pulling back trims.

ExplodeOutput

Gets or sets a value determining whether geometry should be exploded.

ExplodeSpacing

Gets or sets a value determining whether spacing should be exploded.

RelativeTolerance

Gets or sets the relative tolerance for the unrolling operation.
Relative tolerance is used in the evaluation of intrinsic properties, such as computations "along" the surface or brep.
In the current implementation, relative tolerance is used to decide if a surface is flat enough to try to unroll. That helps ease the scale dependency. The surface has to be linear in one direction within (length * RelativeTolerance) to be considered linear for that purpose. Otherwise smash will ignore that tolerance and unroll anything.
